Master Bedroom

We put in hardwood flooring and moldings. Then our new paint. The view is from the Master Bath.

Since this was a bedroom (or being on the first floor, could become an office/den) then we decided surround the ceiling fan with a molding so that it would look like it was centered in the room. The bed in place made it look off center. This trick allows the ceiling fan to have its own fit in the space. I painted the outside of this square (this ceiling square is king size bed measurements) so that the moldings would show up more along the celing line.

Headboard wall detail. This was made from exterior shutters turned on their side and trimed to fit. This size is for a king size bed or for the backdrop of a sofa or desk. It makes the king sized bed not appear so large. This is made to go behide an upholstered headboard that we have in mind for this room.

Flooring detail into Master Closet before sanding and finishing. (you can still see wood pieces on the floor. That is mahogany wood for the inserts and the master closet floor.

Hall 1/2 bath

I loved this fabric by Donghia and decided I would use the elements for my hallway 1/2 bath project. I used my photoshop program to change the background color to a pale blue/green to see how it would look. It was a GO!
Then, (below) we put beadboard on the ceiling and changed out the lighting fixture. We painted the walls in the color I chose.

We then removed the toilet so I could draw and paint behind it and reinstalled it. The floor is hardwood. I wanted a pale blue/green for a background instead of the color on the original fabric inspiration.

Office

Wall unit in my office. This is an old Art Deco piece. I store all my office supplies in it.
I found this piece as part of a bedroom set at a thrift shop. It had a factory finish on it that took lots of sandpaper to remove. It was taken apart (held together with cams and screws as a knock-down construction) and sanded and finished.

We made an Oak base for it that was waffled so that it could hold more weight evenly inside. We made shelving to slide into the spaces to hold our supplies.

Living room

Living room view from our dining room and then into dining room. I wanted the earthy tones to fill the room with warmth. The white (off white, SW Pacer white) walls make the relaxed furniture stand out with more presence. That is a New England element I took with me.

This is the view from dining room at buffet

I used my china cabinet for a book case in the Living room. You can notice the uplight behind the palm in the corner

Uplights make the palm shadows on the walls and ceiling at night.

Front Entryway

This shows one side of the symetrical front entry. There is the same space on each side of the central hallway into our home. This shows one close up of the right side.

Front Entryway 2

We introduced the elements with moldings that you would view as you enter the house.

The french doors lead into the living/dining rooms.
